The Lycan’s Contract Mate

“I am sorry, I shouldn’t have done that, sorry, I should get off,”

She said as she opened the car door to step out but I held it close, her eyes were red from crying and they were swollen too, I gave her my handkerchief and she accepted it covering her face with it.

“You are not in the right frame of mind right now to be on your own, I can drop you off,”

I stated even though I knew I should be at my father’s house already, I could easily tell my father something came up but I couldn’t leave her on her own.

“That’s the thing, I don’t want to go anywhere,”

She let out.

“Oh, boy, females are something else,”

My wolf whispered.

“You can come with me, you can stay in the car and when I am done, we can drive wherever you want to go,”

I said not expecting her to agree but she nodded, now that she agreed, I suddenly remembered where it was that I was going to and that she might hate me if she finds out I took her to a house where the mate that rejected her was, I knew I should probably warn her or tell her where it was that I was headed to but I didn’t want her to leave, so I sucked it up and turned on the car engine and off we went towards my father’s palace, I turned to look at her after a while and realized she was about to fall asleep but she was stopping herself, crying must have drained her energy.

“Don’t hold back, you can fall asleep Arielyn,”

I said and she nodded before closing her eyes, I stared at her for a moment after she closed her eyes, her lashes were long and still wet from her crying, I wanted to wipe them off but caught myself and concentrated on driving, we arrived at my father’s palace a few minutes later and by then, she was already fast asleep.

“Arielyn, I need to speak with my dad, I will be back before you know it,”

I whispered to her as I helped her get as comfy as she could get in a car and left her there, hoping that whatever Father has to say would not take too long.

“What took you so long? Why do I have to wait and accommodate you? I have things that I am supposed to do and I came running here when Father called only for you to come late? What kept you?”

Jordan asked as soon as I walked into my father’s office, I glared at him wondering if he thought I would answer him, I was still pissed at his audacity and the fact that the fool had gone ahead and emailed me for the last two days nonstop, he really did think he could talk me into accepting his stupid offer, the most infuriating part is what he is offering, money? Not even half of what I earn from my winery, such a loser he was, I ignored him completely and turned to our father.

“Father, I am sorry I took time getting here, I had to handle something, I said. I didn’t add the fact that what I had to handle was currently taking a nap in my car, well, he didn’t need to know that anyway.

“And what is it that you had to handle that couldn’t wait until you have spoken to Father?”

Jordan asked.

“I won’t answer to you Jordan, you don’t have the right to question me,”

I responded and took my seat.

“You won’t answer when you kept us waiting for over an hour? Where are your manners, Kendrix?”

Jordan asked and I had to stop myself from saying the words I had in mind, I was late already and I didn’t want to add to it by being rude in front of the king.

“It is enough, I don’t want you boys fighting, Jordan watch how you speak,”

My father said. Even though he was scolding Jordan, I wanted to tell him he is the reason we have issues right now, before when we were younger, we used to fight a lot but after we both left home, we just ignored each other’s existence, the reason we are even here right now in the same place is my father’s fault and he was literally setting us up for a fight, of course, I didn’t say this to him, just kept quiet and waited for him to tell us why he called us, hopefully, by the time we leave, we will know what we needed to do to win.

“I finally have something for you both, the person that can give the pack what it deserves will become the next alpha king,”

Father disclosed.

“Okay, speak up Dad,”

Jordan said in an impatient tune, not gonna lie, I was impatient too, rather than be kept waiting in suspense I prefer if he just told us what it was.

“Right, I won’t beat about the bush since you both are busy people, it is a very easy task,”

Father said and paused looking from me to Jordan.

“It is quite easy what I want from you both and I may help in whatever way I can but victory totally depends on what you can do and I trust you both can carry out what I need from you,”

Father continued not specifically mentioning what it was that we are supposed to do.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“So? What is it, Father? Tell us first and you can give us advice on any other thing later,”

I said because I was growing impatient.

“The Orient, whoever can get back the Orient from Blue Ray pack, becomes the next alpha,”

Father announced and my mouth opened in utter shock, there was no way he said that, that’s like going to war, he can’t be serious or maybe he was talking about a different Orient, if not, this is gonna be hard…
